If You Could See What I Hear

I loved this movie and am lucky enough to have recorded it on VHS tape when it first came out on TV.

I recently made it into a DVD for safe keeping & converted it into an .avi file on one of my external hard drives, again, for safe keeping.

I have always enjoyed movies that were based on fact. I remember the real Tom Sullivan singing on TV shows all the time and was fascinated with the movie and the story of his early life.

It's a shame that I have to add more lines here in order to make a comment. This rule should be taken out, then more people might make comments.

This is one of those happy little Saturday afternoon kind of movies. It's romantic, funny and charming. Marc Singer is very entertaining as Tom Sullivan, a slightly oversexed musician with the innocence of a child learning life lessons in a most entertaining way.

I really wish I could find this on any format- The scene where the girl rubs Tom (Marc's) chest and he makes his teeth chatter is hysterical. The scene where he and Shari Belafonte are playing Beethoven's Pastoral Symp. is FANTASTIC - even to find a copy of just that or a soundtrack would be awesome. It's just a pleasant little movie.

If anyone has any access to this movie, I would be glad to compensate you for a copy. It has MANY happy memories for me.

I watched this movie over and over again back in 1983 when it was on cable, and I absolutely loved it. It's a shame it's not available on VHS or DVD because it is such a good movie. I would love to see it again.

I am also one who watched this movie multiple times when it ran on cable in the 80's...It is one of my favorites. I have never understood why it was skewered by critics. In one of my Video Guides it was actually given a turkey (meaning that they thought it was so bad that it didn't even deserve a rating using the star system!).

I have the book that the movie was based on. But I actually enjoy the movie more. Marc Singer is wonderful as Tom Sullivan...All of the actors were good in this film, the story is uplifting and I still enjoy watching it. For those looking for it on video...check out Ebay and half.com :) :)

I can't agree more with the other person commenting on this great movie. This is one of several great movies from the early 80's that I have on VHS but that are falling apart and need to find a new audience on DVD.

I just don't see what people wait for when they make those decisions about what to digitize and what to leave people waiting for.

This movie is all heart and is held together by the very underrated Marc Singer (yes, that Marc Singer of Beastmaster fame. I swear you make one bad choice and you are branded for life). Telling the true story of blind singer/entertainer Tom Sullivan, Singer brings him to stunning life with a memorable performance that far few were ever able to see.

Let's do what we can to get this great story on DVD for a new generation to enjoy.
